The latest innovations and updates to TMDL (Tabular Model Definition Language) represent a significant productivity enhancement for Power BI developers. I have been utilizing TMDL since viewing Sir Parvinder Chana's comprehensive demonstration on his YouTube channel last year. His tutorial proved invaluable during a critical project involving extensive report modifications under tight deadlines. 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼: https://lnkd.in/eHxikZ4a However, I have identified a recurring issue in Power BI Desktop that undermines productivity.

This behavior creates significant rework and negates many of the efficiency gains that TMDL otherwise provides. I hope this feedback reaches the Power BI team at Microsoft. Addressing this issue would substantially improve reporting workflows and enable developers to fully leverage TMDL's capabilities. Thank you for your continued innovation and commitment to improving the Power BI ecosystem. ... View more

I'm using the default line and stacked column chart (and also tested with 100% stacked column chart) in Power BI Desktop. I enabled borders, and they render correctly for all segments except the bottom one. Here’s what I’ve tried with no success: Verified that the segment has a distinct color, non-zero values, and is not the only segment in the bar. Tried different border colors, thicknesses, and turned off transparency. Filtered the chart to show only that segment but still no border. Switched to stacked column and combo chart but still no border. Confirmed that the segment is a regular category, not a measure or calculated column. Restarted Power BI, duplicated the page and tested in a new visual but still no border. This appears to be a rendering bug where Power BI does not draw borders on the bottom-most segment of a stacked chart, even when all conditions are met. ... View more

### Title: Implement Style Presets for the Text Area Visual in Power BI ### Description: Currently, the Text Area visual does not support Style Presets defined in the Theme JSON. This limitation forces users to manually format text for headings and other styles, which is time-consuming and inconsistent across reports. ### Problem: - Style Presets are available for some visuals but not for Text Area. - Users cannot apply predefined styles (e.g., H1, H2, H3) with one click. - Manual formatting increases maintenance effort and reduces design consistency. ### Proposal: - Enable the Text Area visual to recognize and apply Style Presets defined in the Theme JSON. - Add a "Style Presets" section in the Format pane for Text Area, similar to other visuals. - Allow users to select presets like H1, H2, H3, H4 directly from the Format pane. ### Benefits: - Consistent, corporate design-compliant text formatting. - Reduced manual effort for large reports. - Improved efficiency and user experience. ### Example JSON: ```json "stylePresets": { "H1": { "*": [ { "fontSize": 36, "bold": true, "color": { "solid": { "color": "#038281" } } } ] }, "H2": { "*": [ { "fontSize": 28, "bold": true, "color": { "solid": { "color": "#12239E" } } } ] } } ```   ### Priority: High (Corporate Design, Efficiency) ...

Hi We are using Scorecard evermore to display stats and KPIs - we will be adapting our use to meet the gap left by the departure of Viva Goals.   A simple improvement I would like to see would be the use of more vibrant colours such as 'Red, Amber, Green' to convey status more directly ...  I feel the use of pastle colurs a bit 'weak'. I Would probably also like to be able simply to use strong colours like yellow and blue etc.   Also the ability to create a template of statuses (with colours) for use across the business - this would help standardisation. So that whether it is department to department or site to site i can ensure that every one is using the same terms with the same colours.         ... View more

Context / Problem: Some reports have a lot of filters (dozens) and is really difficult for an end-user to easily have an idea of the currently applied filters.

I really struggle to understand why this feature is not implemented? Its good to use a custom Canvas Setting, which usually goes along with a page view "Actual Size", but when my users are looking at the dashboard from a laptop I advise them to use "Fit to width" and sometimes if you are using a different monitor its better to use "Fit to page" but the problem is that you have to go through all the pages and change the view manually. Its very logical that if you want it for a certain page - you want it for all the pages or atleast introduce a toggle that can turn on this function of "Synced Page View" so when you change the view on the first page it changes it on all of the rest of the pages.   Thank you! ...

Several customers are experiencing issues when creating multivalue parameters for paginated reports connected to a PostgreSQL database. We are currently using an ODBC connection to access PostgreSQL. The following error is appearing: "Could not add multi value query parameter '?' for dataset 'XXX' Query because it is not supported by the data extension." To address this, please consider implementing support for multi value query parameters when using ODBC as the connector. This enhancement would help resolve the challenges users are facing and improve the overall reporting experience.   ... View more

Dear Power BI Team, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to submit a feature request to enhance the functionality of Gauge charts in Power BI. Currently, the color gradient settings in Gauge visuals allow only static numerical inputs for the minimum and maximum limits of the gradient. There is no option to use dynamic measures to define these gradient boundaries. This limitation restricts users who need to display dynamic indicators where the high and low boundaries frequently change based on data or slicer filters. Supporting dynamic gradient colors based on measures would enable: More flexible and meaningful visualizations of live or changing data. Advanced indicators that adapt automatically to the current dataset without manual adjustments. A significant improvement in user experience and efficiency, minimizing the need for complex workarounds such as SVG coding or custom visuals. I kindly suggest adding the capability to select measures (dynamic values) for the gradient limits in Gauge charts, allowing customizable and data-driven gradient rules rather than fixed static numbers. This feature will greatly enhance the power and versatility of Power BI Gauge visuals and meet the needs of advanced reporting workflows. Thank you for your continuous effort in improving Power BI. I look forward to seeing this enhancement in a future release. Best regards, Zaydoon   ... View more

Enable dashboard-level sharing in Microsoft Fabric without requiring access to the underlying raw datasets or Kusto clusters. Problem: Currently, when sharing summarized views in ADX dashboards, recipients must have full backend data access—even if they only need aggregated insights. This creates security and compliance challenges, especially for external auditors or partners. Proposed Capability: Allow granting view-only access to dashboards without exposing underlying data sources. Support scenarios where filtered or aggregated views can be shared securely without creating separate datasets or dashboards. Maintain feature parity with ADX dashboards while adding this granular sharing option. Benefits: Simplifies compliance and audit workflows. Reduces complexity of creating filtered datasets for each scenario. Aligns with strategic goals for secure data collaboration. Example Use Cases: External auditors e.g., teams outside the company needing targeted views. Partners requiring limited insights without full data access. ... View more

Good afternoon. I think you all should improve the world map options for Power BI's Microsoft Azure.

Even word allows version history! Instead, I make duplicate files named v1, v2, v3, v4, v5 etc to combat this. I now have about 27 different files for one powerbi project 😀.   Also, when I want to make changes to a report page I create a duplicate page in case I mess it up. Please make the undo/version history/autosave functionality, as is present in every other office application(!) - I don't feel the need for messy duplicates in other apps. ... View more

n8n is the new rising star in node-based workflow automation.

Description: When saving a Power BI Desktop file, the application displays a message such as “Last saved: Today at 10:25 AM.” However, the term “Today” can be misleading. If a user reopens the file on a later date, the message still reads “Today at 10:25 AM,” even though the actual save date was not today. This can create confusion, as users may believe the file was saved on the current day. Suggestion: Replace the word “Today” with the actual save date (e.g., “Last saved: October 12, 2025 at 10:25 AM”) to ensure clarity and accuracy across sessions. @ Powe BI Thanks! ... View more
